英語(yǔ)四級(jí)聽(tīng)力長(zhǎng)對(duì)話(huà)聽(tīng)前預(yù)測(cè)技巧(10)

　　十、意思相近的選項(xiàng)往往都不是答案

　　如果有兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)意思明顯相近，那么這兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)往往都不是答案。

　　【例11】(新06-12-22)

　　【預(yù)覽選項(xiàng)】

　　[A] He was ready to make a concession.

　　[B] He was not prepared to go to court.

　　[C] He was not intimidated.

　　[D] He was a bit concerned.

　　【聽(tīng)前預(yù)測(cè)】

　　由選項(xiàng)中的concession(讓步)，go to court, intimidate(威脅)， concerned(擔(dān)心)等詞可推測(cè)問(wèn)題應(yīng)該與男士對(duì)某事的反應(yīng)有關(guān)。[A]是說(shuō)他準(zhǔn)備讓步，[B]是說(shuō)他不準(zhǔn)備上法庭，二者都表示男士要“妥協(xié)退讓” 的含義，故很可能都不是答案。

　　【聽(tīng)音驗(yàn)證】

　　…

　　M: Get the branches off my property or I’ll have to sue you.

　　M: Yeah? For what?! …

　　W: You’ll be hearing from me.

　　M: Yeah, yeah. See you in court, Jane.

　　【答案解析】

　　22. What was the man’s reaction to the woman’s threat?

　　【解析】選[C]。女士說(shuō)讓男士等著收法庭的傳票(hear from me)，男士的回答“Yeah, yeah. See you in court(法庭見(jiàn))”表明他根本not intimidated(不怕威脅)。
